Past Winner Spotlight: Paul Pepyat’s 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Paul Pepyat from Queensland is now the proud owner of this beautifully restored and tough 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, valued at $100,000. This Mustang is all about classic style with the power to match.
Under the bonnet is a 450 horsepower 347 cubic inch Windsor V8, delivering the perfect blend of old school character and modern grunt. It’s backed by a fully built C10 transmission, ensuring smooth, bulletproof shifting under load.
Breathing through a full sports exhaust and headers, this Mustang sounds every bit as tough as it looks. Power gets put to the ground through a 9 inch differential with an Eaton Truetrac centre, 3.50 gears, and 31 spline axles, built to handle the power and keep it all straight and true.
It sits perfectly on Weld Alumastar wheels, 17×4.5 inch fronts and 15×8 inch single beadlock rears, giving it a classic stance that’s all business.
Paul’s 1965 Mustang Fastback is a perfect example of American muscle reimagined for Aussie streets. Congratulations to Paul Pepyat, another past winner cruising in true style!
